Into the Shadows of Arcadia

Wingman 1

Strickler entering his car after the dentist. He holds his gum with a hand while yawning, completely unaware that Angor Rot was in the background, waiting to pounce. As he yawned, his eyes gazed unto the rear mirror of his car. Seeing the assassin and taking a look at his finger, he gasped fearfully.

"The ring! What?"

He frantically looks around for it before taking another look into the mirror, seeing Angor charging towards him.

"Oh, no!"

He quickly starts the engine, shifts into reverse, and slams the accelerator. The car collides with the assassin, knocking him back. Strickler rolls down the window, only to discover Angor has vanished. As he turns toward the steering wheel, a knife suddenly pierces through from beneath the car, causing him to scream. Panicking, he speeds off, realizing he's lost control of the situation. As the car moves, Angor Rot appears, chasing him and leaping onto the roof. Angor begins stabbing through the roof while Strickler frantically dodges the strikes, trying to maintain control of the car. Just when he thinks he's shaken Angor off, the assassin reappears directly in front of the vehicle, obstructing Strickler's view.

"You can't escape me now."

He proceeds to grab Strickler by the neck.

"After I'm through with you, I'll kill the trollhunter and everyone else!"

"Are you mad?"

"No! I'm free"

Strickler screams when he hears this, also when he sees an opportunity to escape. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and jump out of the moving car, while still screaming. The car falls off a cliff and so does Angor. Strickler goes to the edge and looks down as the car crashes. Knowing he had time, he escaped from there. Back to trollmarket, showing Blinky looking at the killstone with his three eyes on the right side, with Jim talking to him.

"Then I took the killstone from him, and never looked back."

"A valiant risk for the second Triumbic stone. But you say Angor Rot's ring was destroyed?"

"Yeah, he wasn't very happy to lose his soul. Now that no one controls him, I guess he'll be on a warpath."

"All the more reason to find the third and last stone before he shows up again."

Toby and Clair walked in and Jim stiffened. Avoiding there eyes.

"Hey! Good to see you back to normal, Blinky."

"I was starting to miss you there."

"Ah. My only regret was that I never had the chance to drive one of your automobiles."

"Say, what was that legend again?"

"Three forces elemental thou must seek in marshlands, caverns deep, and mountain's peak."

She recited. As she turned around, she found the three shocked that she remembered the legend word for word.

"If I can memorize 400 lines of Shakespeare, I can remember that."

"Check and check on the marshlands and mountain. That just leaves us with the caverns deep."

"Trouble is, Tobias, all trolls live in caverns deep. To search them all would far outlast our life-spans. Has anyone seen Aaarrrgghh!? If we plan on finding the final stone, we'll need all hands on deck."

Vendel's place, where he is examining Aaarrgghh using his staff to examine the wound.

"Can you wiggle your fingers?"
